Oz the Great and Powerful

Sound & Vision Magazine

Excerpt: Curiously, the 3D edition is a standalone disc with Digital Copy, and the 2D version is a separate edition altogether with all the extras and bonus DVD. The 3D in both the black-and-white and color sequences is exemplary. Depth of field is excellent with snowflakes and flowers hovering in the foreground while the action holds focus in the background.

Conclusion: As I covered in more detail my review of the 2D Blu-ray version of Oz The Great and Powerful , the film is an enjoyable viewing and listening experience on the high-def disc format. The color design and seamless integration between physical and virtual sets, as well as physical and CGI characters is great technically, and the soundtrack, with the exception of low volume on a few conversational dialog sequences, is fantastic.

Excerpt: Oz can be cheerful, a world of color, playful beings, and harmless scares. Oz can be apocalyptic, barren and flat as its monsters rise to challenge children. Or, it can be Great and Powerful , a digitally oppressive envisioning that blends both for fruitless, tired ambition.

Conclusion: While Oz the Great and Powerful does not recreate the magic of MGM's untouchable 1939 musical, it does fit the bill as above average big budget contemporary family fantasy cinema.
